you should still be able to find them without counting on apt-get or
whatever bunty uses.
A quick google finds this:
http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/sharefonts.html

you should find something there that fits. Probably an rpm . fonts dont
need compiling so it's just a case of checking they unpack to the right
place (and reading the shareware licence).

getting back to the point of the post , does gimp require this package to
work correctly?

TIA.
